DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure for better understanding and should be regarded as only exemplary. Therefore, those ordinarily skilled in the art should realize that various changes and modifications can be made to embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, description of known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, terms such as “first” and “second” used for describing various elements are not intended to limit a position relation, a timing sequence relation or a significance relation of these elements and are only used for distinguishing one element from another element. In some examples, a first element and a second element may refer to the same instance of the elements, which, in some cases, may also refer to different instances on the basis of description of the context.

Terms used in description of various examples in the present disclosure are only intended to describe specific examples but not intended to make a limitation. Unless otherwise indicated clearly in the context, if a quantity of elements is not limited in particular, there may be one or a plurality of the elements. Besides, a term “and/or” used in the present disclosure covers any one or all possible combinations in listed items.

In making of a high definition map, information based on which point cloud data registration is performed includes global position and orientation information of a point cloud data collection device, the information is usually obtained by calculating based on global position and orientation information of an IMU unit in a mode of coordinate system transformation, the global position and orientation information of the IMU unit is obtained by combination solution based on data collected by a GNSS and the IMU, and the global position and orientation information includes position information and rotation information.

In a process of combination solution of the global position and orientation information, there may be a phenomenon of incapability of convergence in a solution process of a local part, and at the moment, a local rotation information deviation exists in the obtained global position and orientation information, namely a local rotation offset. The local rotation offset usually does not have an influence on trajectory smoothness, but may cause point cloud data to overlap in a corresponding position during registration, which affects a map making accuracy.

In the related art, more data may be obtained in the same position by increasing global measurement (for example, adding GNSS antennas), so faster convergence can be realized in the solution process. However, hardware cost of this scheme is high, and an application scenario is limited. In another scheme, the global position and orientation information with the local rotation offset may be replaced by data imputed by an odometer, but when a distance with a deviation is long, the scheme may cause a larger error.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure gives a global position and orientation correction method for point cloud registration, by obtaining to-be-corrected global position and orientation information of the first trajectory point, determining a plurality of pairs of second trajectory points based on the information, obtaining estimation information and measurement information of a relative position and orientation of each pair of second trajectory points respectively and solving the local rotation offset at the first trajectory point based on a transformation relation between the two types of information, the global position and orientation information can be corrected based on the local rotation offset, an overlapping phenomenon of point cloud registration is reduced, and accuracy of the made high definition map is improved.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, a global position and orientation correction method for point cloud registration is provided and includes: step S201, global position and orientation information of a first trajectory point is obtained; step S202, at least one pair of second trajectory points is determined based on the global position and orientation information, wherein the at least one pair of second trajectory points and the first trajectory point are located on the same trajectory; step S203, relative position and orientation estimation information and relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points are obtained, wherein the relative position and orientation estimation information is obtained based on global position and orientation information of each second trajectory point in the pair of second trajectory points, and the relative position and orientation measurement information is obtained through a mileage measurement device; and step S204, a local rotation offset at the first trajectory point is calculated based on the relative position and orientation estimation information and the relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points to correct the global position and orientation information.

By obtaining to-be-corrected global position and orientation information of the first trajectory point, determining a plurality of pairs of second trajectory points based on the information, obtaining estimation information and measurement information of a relative position and orientation of each pair of second trajectory points respectively and solving the local rotation offset at the first trajectory point based on a transformation relation between the two types of information, the global position and orientation information can be corrected based on the local rotation offset, an overlapping phenomenon of point cloud registration is reduced, and accuracy of the made high definition map is improved.

In some embodiments, while combination solution is performed based on data collected by a GNSS and an IMU, in some trajectory points, there may be a situation of incapability of convergence in a solution process of a local pant, so the global position and orientation information in the trajectory point has a local rotation offset, and the above trajectory point is the first trajectory point.

In some embodiments, while the first trajectory point is determined, global position and orientation information of the first trajectory point obtained by combination solution based on the GNSS and the IMU may be obtained, wherein the global position and orientation information includes global position information and rotation angle information of the first trajectory point.

In some embodiments, the at least one pair of second trajectory points may be determined based on the global position information in the global position and orientation information of the first trajectory point.

According to some embodiments, determining the at least one pair of second trajectory points based on the global position and orientation information may include: a first range is determined based on the position information in the global position and orientation information and a first distance threshold; and the at least one pair of second trajectory points is determined within the first range.

As for a segment of a trajectory, a local rotation offset corresponding to a trajectory point within a certain range is constant. Thus, a selection range (namely, the first range) of the second trajectory points is determined according to the to-be-corrected global position information of the first trajectory point, selection of the second trajectory points is performed within the range, and calculating accuracy of the local rotation offset can be further improved.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a trajectory of a data collection device according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. The data collection device may be, for example, the IMU.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the trajectory 301 of the data collection device includes the first trajectory point 302, the first range 303 may be determined based on the first trajectory point 302 and the first distance threshold, and then selection of the second trajectory points may be performed on the trajectory 301 within the first range 303, for example, selecting the second trajectory point 304 and the second trajectory point 305.

In some embodiments, the first distance threshold may be, for example, 1-30 meters, and it can be understood that the first distance threshold may be set by related technical persons based on actual conditions and is not limited herein.

The relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points may be obtained through measurement by a mileage measurement device (for example, a radar inertial odometer), but when a distance between the two trajectory points exceeds a certain range, a measurement accuracy will not be guaranteed.

According to some embodiments, a distance between two second trajectory points in each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points may be smaller than or equal to a second distance threshold.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, as for a pair of second trajectory points (namely, the second trajectory point 304 and the second trajectory point 305), the distance between the two second trajectory points needs to meet a condition of being smaller than or equal to the second distance threshold.

In some embodiments, the second distance threshold may be, for example, 1-30 meters, and it can be understood that the second distance threshold may be set by related technical persons based on actual conditions and is not limited herein.

By limiting the distance between the two second trajectory points, accuracy of the relative position and orientation measurement information of the pair of second trajectory points can be guaranteed, and accuracy of the local rotation offset is improved.

In some embodiments, the relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points may be obtained through the mileage measurement device.

In some embodiments, as for the relative position and orientation estimation information of each pair of second trajectory points, the global position and orientation information of each second trajectory point in the pair of second trajectory points may be obtained in a mode of above combination solution, and then the relative position and orientation estimation information of the pair of second trajectory points is obtained based on the corresponding global position and orientation information based on the two second trajectory points.

According to some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, calculating the local rotation offset at the first trajectory point based on the relative position and orientation estimation information and the relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points may include: step S401, a transformation relationship matrix between the relative position and orientation estimation information and the relative position and orientation measurement information of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points is determined, wherein the transformation relationship matrix includes the local rotation offset to be solved; step S402, an equation for solving the local rotation offset is established based on the relative position and orientation estimation information, the relative position and orientation measurement information and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points; and step S403, the local rotation offset is calculated based on the equation.

The transformation relationship matrix is established based on the local rotation offset, and a relation between a relative position and orientation estimated value and a relative position and orientation measured value is established based on the matrix, so that the equation for solving the local rotation offset is obtained. In the above mode, the local rotation offset at a position can be accurately captured based on the relative position and orientation measured value.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, a global position and orientation actual value of the second trajectory point 304 is set to be t1GT, a global position and orientation actual value at the second trajectory point 305 (namely, corrected global position and orientation information) is t2GT, and t1 and t2 are respectively corresponding moments when the data collection device passes through the second trajectory point 304 and the second trajectory point 305.

Correspondingly, global position and orientation information of the second trajectory point 304 and global position and orientation information of the second trajectory point 305 are recorded as t1G{tilde over (T)} and t2G{tilde over (T)} respectively.

The local rotation offset to be solved in the position (namely, in the first trajectory point) is recorded as ΔR (namely, the transformation relationship matrix), so the corrected global position and orientation information t1GT and t2GT of the second trajectory point 304 and the second trajectory point 305 and the global position and orientation information t1G{tilde over (T)} and t1G{tilde over (T)} of the second trajectory point 304 and the second trajectory point 305 have the following relation respectively:

t 1 G T ~ = t 1 G T [ Δ R 0 0 1 ] t 2 G T ~ = t 2 G T [ Δ R 0 0 1 ]

Besides, the relative position and orientation estimation information t2t1{tilde over (T)} between the two second trajectory points may be obtained through the following formula:


t2t1{tilde over (T)}=t1G{tilde over (T)}−1t2G{tilde over (T)}

Similarly, the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T between the two second trajectory points and the corrected global position and orientation information t1GT and t2GT of the second trajectory points 304 and 305 have the following relation:


t2T1T=t1GT−1t2GT

The relative position and orientation estimation information t2t2{tilde over (T)} and the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T between the above two second trajectory points have the following relation:

t 2 t 1 T ~ = [ Δ R T 0 0 1 ] t 1 G T - 1 t 2 G T [ Δ R 0 0 1 ] = [ Δ R T 0 0 1 ] t 2 t 1 T [ Δ R 0 0 1 ]

The equation for solving the local rotation offset shown in the above formula is obtained, so the local rotation offset may be solved based on the above formula and the relative position and orientation estimation information t2t1{tilde over (T)} and the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T.

According to some embodiments, the relative position and orientation estimation information may include a relative position estimated value vector, the relative position and orientation measurement information may include a relative position measured value vector, and the at least one pair of second trajectory points may include at least three pairs of second trajectory points. Besides, establishing the equation for solving the local rotation offset based on the relative position and orientation estimation information, the relative position and orientation measurement information and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points may include: the equation is established based on the relative position estimated value vector, the relative position measured value vector and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points.

Solution of the local rotation offset is performed through position information in the relative position and orientation information, so that operation can be further simplified, a calculation resource is saved, and a calculation efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, the relative position and orientation estimation information t2t1{tilde over (T)} and the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T include position information and rotation information respectively, so t2t1{tilde over (T)} and t2t1T may be represented by the following formulas respectively:

t 2 t 1 T ~ = [ t 2 t 1 R ~ t 2 t 1 p ~ 0 1 ] t 2 t 1 T = [ t 2 t 1 R t 2 t 1 p 0 1 ]

where t2t1{tilde over (p)} is the relative position estimated value vector in the relative position and orientation estimation information t2t1{tilde over (T)}, t2t1p is the relative position measured value vector in the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T; and t2t1{tilde over (R)} is a relative rotation estimated value matrix in the relative position and orientation estimation information t2t1{tilde over (T)}, and t2t1R is a relative rotation measured value matrix in the relative position and orientation measurement information t2t1T.

Further, based on the above equation, the following relation may be obtained:

[ t 2 t 1 R ~ t 2 t 1 p ~ 0 1 ] = [ Δ R T t 2 t 1 R Δ R Δ R T t 2 t 1 p 0 1 ] ( 1 )

In some embodiments, solution of the local rotation offset may be performed merely through an equation relation of the position information part, so that the solution process is simplified.

In some embodiments, different n pairs of second trajectory points may be obtained respectively (n≥3), the relative position estimated value vector and the relative position measured value vector of each pair of second trajectory points are obtained respectively, a linear inhomogeneous equation is established respectively based on the above relation, and least square solution thereof is solved, so that the local rotation offset is obtained.

In some embodiments, the relative position estimated value vector t2t1{tilde over (p)} and the relative position measured value vector t2t1p may be respectively recorded as, for example:

t 2 t 1 p ~ = [ t 2 t 1 x ~ t 2 t 1 y ~ t 2 t 1 z ~ ] t 2 t 1 p = [ t 2 t 1 x t 2 t 1 y t 2 t 1 z ]

ΔRT (namely, an inverse of the transformation relationship matrix) may be recorded as:

Δ R T = [ a 11 a 12 a 13 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 31 a 32 a 33 ]

For further simplified calculation, the above matrix and vectors may be transformed, to obtain the following relation:

[ t 2 t 1 x t 2 t 1 y t 2 t 1 z 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 t 2 t 1 x t 2 t 1 y t 2 t 1 z 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 t 2 t 1 x t 2 t 1 y t 2 t 1 z ] [ a 11 a 12 a 13 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 31 a 32 a 33 ] = [ t 2 t 1 x ~ t 2 t 1 y ~ t 2 t 1 z ~ ]

recorded as,

A 1 [ a 11 a 12 a 13 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 31 a 32 a 33 ] = b 1

Then, by respectively stacking the relative position estimated value vector and the relative position measured value vector of each of pair of second trajectory points in n pairs of second trajectory points, the following formula is obtained:

A [ a 11 a 12 a 13 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 31 a 32 a 33 ] = b where A = [ A 1 A 2 A 3 A n ] , b = [ b 1 b 2 b 3 b n ]

By solving the least square solution of the above linear inhomogeneous equation, ΔRT can be obtained.

In some embodiments, a strictly orthogonal matrix cannot be obtained in the above mode, so orthogonal transformation may be performed on ΔRT through matrix QR decomposition or by using following formula, and then orthogonalized ΔR is obtained:


ΔR←(ΔRΔRT)−1/2ΔR

The local rotation offset ΔR in the first trajectory point can be obtained.

In some embodiments, the following correction may be performed on the global position and orientation information tiG{tilde over (T)} in the first trajectory point based on the local rotation offset ΔR, and thus the corrected global position and orientation information tiGT is obtained:

t i G T = t i G T ~ [ Δ R T 0 0 1 ]

where ti is a moment when the data collection device corresponding to each trajectory point within the first range passes.

According to some embodiments, the relative position and orientation estimation information may include a relative rotation estimated value matrix, the relative position and orientation measurement information may include a relative rotation measured value matrix, and moreover, establishing the equation for solving the local rotation offset based in the relative position and orientation estimation information, the relative position and orientation measurement information and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points may include: the equation is established based on the relative rotation estimated value matrix, the relative rotation measured value matrix and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points.

Calculation of the local rotation offset is performed through the rotation information part in the relative position and orientation information, so that operation can be further simplified, the calculation resource is saved, and the calculation efficiency is improved.

Through the above formula (1), an equation relation of the rotation information part can be obtained as follows:


t2t1{tilde over (R)}=ΔRTt2t1RΔR  (2)

In some embodiments, different n pairs of second trajectory points may be obtained respectively (n≥3), the relative rotation estimated value matrix and the relative rotation measured value matrix of each pair of second trajectory points are obtained respectively, a linear inhomogeneous equation is established respectively based on the above relation, a least square solution thereof is solved, and thus the local rotation offset is obtained.

According to some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, establishing the equation based on the relative rotation estimated value matrix, the relative rotation measured value matrix and the transformation relationship matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points may include: step S501, logarithmic mapping is performed on the relative rotation estimated value matrix and the relative rotation measured value matrix of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points to obtain a relative rotation estimated value vector and a relative rotation measured value vector of the pair of second trajectory points; step S502, logarithmic mapping is performed on the transformation relationship matrix to obtain a transformation relationship vector; and step S503, a first equation is established as the equation for solving the local rotation offset based on the relative rotation estimated value vector, the relative rotation measured value vector and the transformation relationship vector of each pair of second trajectory points in the at least one pair of second trajectory points.

Accordingly, by performing logarithmic mapping on a rotation matrix and an offset matrix (namely, the transformation relationship matrix), a corresponding rotation vector and a transformation relationship vector are obtained, so that operation is simplified, the calculation resource is saved, and the calculation efficiency is improved.

In some embodiments, for further simplifying operation, logarithmic mapping may be performed respectively on the relative rotation estimated value matrix, the relative rotation measured value matrix and the transformation relationship matrix firstly, and taking t2t1{tilde over (R)} and t2t1R as an example, logarithmic mapping is performed on two sides of the above formula (2) respectively:

Log ( t 2 t 1 R ~ ) = Log ( Δ R T t 2 t 1 R Δ R ) = Log ( t 2 t 1 R ) + ( J r - 1 ( Log ( t 2 t 1 R ) ) - J t - 1 ( Log ( t 2 t 1 R ) ) ) Log ( Δ R )

where the relative rotation estimated value vector is recorded as t2t1{tilde over (γ)}, the relative rotation measured value vector is recorded as t2t1γ, and the transformation relationship vector is recorded as δ, so the above three vectors may be represented through the following formula respectively:


t2t1{tilde over (γ)}=Log(t2t1{tilde over (R)})


t2t1γ=Log(t2t1R)


δ=Log(ΔR)

so the above equation relation may be further represented as:


t2t1{tilde over (γ)}=t2t1γ+(Jr−1(t2t1γ)−Jt−1(t2t1γ))δ

Further transformation is performed on the above formula, to obtain the following equation:

( J r - 1 ( t 2 t 1 γ ) - J t - 1 ( t 2 t 1 γ ) ) δ = t 2 t 1 γ ~ - t 2 t 1 γ ( 3 ) where J r - 1 ( θ ) = I + 1 2 [ θ ] x + ( 1 θ 2 - 1 + cos θ 2 θsinθ ) [ θ ] x 2 J r - 1 ( θ ) = I - 1 2 [ θ ] x + ( 1 θ 2 - 1 + cos θ 2 θsinθ ) [ θ ] x 2

θ is a three-dimension vector, [θ]x is used for solving an antisymmetric matrix of θ, and θ is a scalar corresponding to the vector θ.

According to the above equation, the transformation relationship vector in the first trajectory point may be obtained by solving through the relative rotation estimated value vector and the relative rotation measured value vector of one pair of second trajectory points, and then a corresponding transformation relationship matrix may be obtained in a mode of logarithmic mapping, a specific formula is as follows:


ΔR=Exp  (8)

In some embodiments, the relative rotation estimated value vector and the relative rotation measured value vector of each pair of second trajectory points in a plurality of pairs of second trajectory points may also be obtained respectively, a linear inhomogeneous equation is established based on a constrained relation of the formula (3) and a stacking method similar to the above operation, a least square solution thereof is solved, and by solving based on the rotation information of the plurality of second trajectory points, the obtained transformation relationship matrix can be more accurate.

In some embodiments, the strictly orthogonal matrix cannot be obtained in the above mode, so orthogonal transformation may be further performed on ΔR through matrix QR decomposition or by using the following formula, and thus orthogonalized ΔR is obtained:


ΔR←(ΔRΔRT)−1/2ΔR

The local rotation offset ΔR in the first trajectory point can be obtained.

In some embodiments, the following correction may be performed on the global position and orientation information tiG{tilde over (T)} in the first trajectory point based on the local rotation offset ΔR, and thus the corrected global position and orientation information tiGT is obtained:

t i G T = t i G T ~ [ Δ R T 0 0 1 ]

where ti is a moment when the data collection device corresponding to each trajectory point within the first range passes.
